Among those taking part in a Body Venture exhibit Friday at Allen Community College were Alyssa Wilmoth, who showed Lincoln Elementary School fourth-graders the inner workings of the mouth

Iola’s elementary school students had an in-the-body experience Friday.

The students partook in a Body Venture exhibit set up at Allen Community College’s Student Activities Building.

The exhibit consisted of through small tents to denote different parts of the body.

For example, the opening exhibit was a larger-than-life mouth, where the students learned about proper dental care and how taste buds function.

The students then are “swallowed” into the esophagus tunnel and into the stomach dome. From there, the students travel through the small intestine, where they are “absorbed” into the blood, then follow a path through the heart, lungs, bones, muscles and skin stations.
